My ePortfolio
In managing goals and time, I was not always the most prepared and on time. So, by the presentation of this online portfolio, I am ale to track my progress and setting various goals on various levels. Using the online portfolio increases the efficiency in my management of goals and time due to the simple formatted layout initially presented. Adding to this portfolio is quite enjoying when it is easy to add and create reflections on how or what I've done this year. There are several mistakes I might make in the course of adding now goals and others. The truth is, what if i am a little lazy and unable to remind myself of the goals I set every day? The rest of the organizing is simple. I definitely managed my goals better and planned ahead using this technology. I would continue using this to set goals if needed until, I won't forget efforts I put onto something again.

For the very first time, I familiarized with a more interesting/audience-engaging PowerPoint technology. This is the first time one of my PowerPoints was able to capture the audiences' attention. By first writing my speech, I was able to visualize a outline for the whole Powerpoint therefore increasing the amount of pictures and large text. I enjoyed creating such a visual PowerPoint consisting of immense amounts of pictures and less text. On the day of my presentation though, since I am not actually looking at my visual aid, I made several mistakes on where the slides were. The presentation was the only area that striked me as most difficult as other parts such as the process were quite enjoyable. The large and interesting pictures definately increased the audience attention and also created a welcoming atmosphere instead of a tense one.Throughout, I decided to try something different for the next project, in order to make it even more interesting, I would add a picture for everything that I would say in the presentation. Finally, I would time my self so the clicker becomes unnecessary.

Fan Fic
In memory of my childhood, i was able to replicate my creative and imaginative ability once again on the FanFic. In creation of the FanFic, i encountered many steps in which I enjoyed and found difficulty in. First of all, the ability to narrate a story myself has been incredible. I was able to explore my imagination and incorporate it into our classroom subjects. There were some difficulties though. Since I wrote a FanFic based upon a cartoon, the story must seemingly fit in with the overall randomness of the cartoon. As I wrote, I didn't want to write my story too long, so instead, I created a open ended ending. By writing on the Wiki, I was able to complete my story a little faster. In the end my story really worked with the U.S history. There were some difficulty incorporating the theme of chapter 11 too. However, it worked out very well. Next time, I would incorporate more details to make the story more full and complex.


Research and Assessment Tools

Demonstrates growth and competence in:
library skills and information literacy, search strategies, evaluating sources, mathematical reasoning, scientific method, data presentation and interpretation, rubrics, assessment, reflection

The value of the works cited sheet represents the various evaluating sources and information literacy I constructed as I worked on my project. I did enjoy creating the works cited for Unit 3. For, I created the works cited with Noodle Tools, an online resource for the formation of all the works cited I used. The smoothness of adding and subtracting information for Noodle Tools was exceptional therefore, I enjoyed the vast majority of adding works by other people. After, I successfully transfered the information within the websites onto my presentation to provide splendid information upon my project. So, this the the reason why I recieved a full score on my oral presentation. However, I did experience some difficulties. One of such was the various buttons set in the Noodle Tools. Many buttons I didn't know the function of ,so I didn't have the full potiental unpon the owrks cited part. Another difficulty was when I transfered the Noodle Tools to the works cited. I didn't know whether it was right or wrong .However, through my doubts, I still recieved a good score. The Noodles Tools really worked by making the works cited simplier and organizing my evaluating sources etc. The websites were easy to find too. Next time, I would try to utilize all functions in the Noodle Tools and organize the information on a more in-depth scale.
